Summary and audio linked here.
Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Hello, Indiana makes a point that needs to be thoroughly and impartially investigated. However, have my doubts that it ever will be.
The sky didn’t fall, but the crime rate did. IL- protect criminals, not like aw abiding citizens.
Conveniently ignored those victimized by repeat offenders on bail. Dozens released have committed hundreds of crimes, created hundreds of victims and murdered dozens since Tim Evans started this nonsense. “ Not horrible “ results in his words.
Crime can be the same, and, the law can be incredibility stupid, tossing out 1,000 years of an Anglo-Saxon tradition that worked. Both can be true at the same time.
